Newsflash

The BOYS is canceled at DC Wildstorm as of issue 6 despite strong sales and fan outcry.

Garth Ennis' public statement:

"It's become obvious to all concerned that The Boys should never have been published at DC, and to their credit they're working hard to release the rights so that Darick and I can find the book a new home. We're already looking at offers from a number of publishers, and plan to return with #7 and the first trade collection in a matter of a few months.

Thank you to everyone who's bought and supported The Boys to date. I've gotten a real kick out of the response we've gotten over the first six issues, and I'm looking forward to getting stuck into the next fifty-four. Believe me, what we've got coming up will make #1-6 look like a quiet evening on Sesame Street.

One other thing: I want to say thank you to Ben Abernathy, Scott Dunbier and Jim Lee for all their help and support. Good guys, pleasant to deal with, never anything less than gentlemen. I'm going to miss doing the book with them."- Garth Ennis
